The block diagram of an autopilot designed to maintain the pitch attitude θ of an aircraft is shown below. The transfer function relating the elevator angle δe and the pitch attitude θ is 50(s+1)(s+2) / (s+6)(s^2+55s+40162+0.03s+0.06) where θ is the pitch attitude in degrees and δe is the elevator angle in degrees. The autopilot controller uses the pitch attitude error to adjust the elevator according to the transfer function K6 - D(s).
Using MATLAB, find the value of K that will provide an overshoot of less than 0% and a rise time faster than 0.5 sec for a unit-step change in θ.
